I've said before that this is the album Death Cab for Cutie would make if they were evil. Instead, former Afghan Whigs frontman Greg Dulli recorded an album of love songs by generator power in post-Katrina New Orleans. The result is raw, hypnotic, and devious.
My buddy Adam (BTP's official NBA correspondent) put it this way:
"There was a rapture, so I can never see you again." New Orleans is gone, Greg Dulli is left behind. This is what it sounds like.
